Is there a recovery procedure with full rudder opposite the turning direction of the spin for airbus?

We had a saying that rudder brings you into spin, but not aut of it.
As mentioned before, i didnīt fly it in heavies, we had to unload to the max extent and apply full aileron in the direction of the spin / turnneedle and keep the rudder neutral. When the aircraft unloaded, rudder and ailerons had to be kept at neutral antil flying speed was achieved.

The force on leaving a spin is not the sudden stop of turning (because it doesnīt happen that fast), it is the sudden unloading when spin recovery procedure is successful.

But again, my expieience is not on heavies.
